Traveling through the world of the book, but there seem to be too many heroines

Page 37

But Chen Ran could still feel from the tiny whimpers coming from Jiang Zilin that this guy seemed to be so nervous that he was about to cry.

Even though it was so difficult, I still had to go out to buy birthday gifts for my netizens.

It can be seen that Jiang Zilin is indeed very close to that "succubus" girl.

He could only free up one hand and slowly pull her into his arms.

Chen Ran patted Jiang Zilin's back, as if coaxing a child, and spoke gently in the woman's ear.

"It's okay, Sister Xiaolin, it's okay, I'm here."

"Woo..."

Jiang Zilin could only whimper cutely now, and her big eyes beneath the sunglasses were already filled with tears.

However, after she snuggled into his arms a little, her trembling body, which had been swaying with the subway, did calm down a lot.

Chen Ran just remained silent.

He gently hugged this shy and stupid guy, with some difficulty. He held the iron railing with one hand and took out his mobile phone with the other hand to send a message to Jiang Lengleng who was still in school.

Tell the girl.

I went to Xijing with her sister in the evening, and asked her whether she would go home after evening self-study or come to see us...

【Jiang Lengleng: Go home.】

Well.

So Chen Ran continued to instruct the girl, saying that if he and Jiang Zilin hadn't returned at night, he would ask her to go to the convenience store first and then have a midnight snack...

【Jiang Lengleng: OK.】

The girl's reply is always so concise and clear.

Not long after, Jiang Lengleng sent himself another new message.

【Thanks for your hard work. 】

Well.

Probably referring to the matter of taking her sister out.

It is true that every time Jiang Zilin wanted to go out, Jiang Lengleng would take her out. After all, with her situation, it was okay for her to just walk around the house, but she couldn't go far away to Xijing or something like that.

For Jiang Zilin.

It is something that is absolutely impossible to accomplish alone.

But Chen Ran thought it was okay, and even thought that Jiang Zilin's current social anxiety was a little cute.

Come on.

This was also the first time that I accompanied Jiang Zilin out.

During the first half month of her stay at the Jiang family, she and Jiang Zilin had not spoken to each other at all - according to the woman, that period was the "trial period", and because she was too "excellent", they accepted her as a member of the family.

To know.

Apart from her mother Jiang Ruohua, Jiang Lengleng and Grandma Yang who sells cakes, she is the fourth person who can communicate normally with Jiang Zilin.

Congratulations, Coca-Cola.

After getting off the subway, Chen Ran brought Jiang Zilin to the prosperous Akihabara district in Xijing - probably, similar to some kind of holy land of two-thorn monkeys.

After coming out of the subway station.

Cute girls in maid outfits can be seen everywhere, handing out flyers on the street, inviting passers-by to rest in their maid cafes.

There are also people wearing all kinds of strange clothes - some are sci-fi style, some are classical style, and some... um, they are strange-shaped big leather covers.

The streets are full of shops selling all kinds of figures, game halls, computer stores, or game and anime peripherals.

The huge screens in the department stores on the street were all playing music videos of cute anime girls, and there were banners everywhere advertising various new shows, and even young idol groups were doing roadshows.

The crowds in Xijing's busy streets were terrifyingly dense on Saturday night.

This made Jiang Zilin seem even more afraid of being separated from herself.

A pair of hands tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, and then every few seconds, she would nervously call her name, muttering "Xiao Ran Xiao Ran Xiao Ran, where are you...", and then look at her.

Only when he was sure that he was looking at her would he let out a light breath, and then after ten or twenty seconds, he would repeat the process again.

and.

while walking.

Almost every time she passed an intersection, Jiang Zilin would look left and right for a long time, then nervously take out her mobile phone and confirm the route on the APP map again to see if she had taken the wrong route.

This went on for a long, long time.

Chen Ran did just that, accompanying Jiang Zilin all the way to their destination, which was in front of a store that seemed to be selling tarot cards, crystal balls, and strange "occult props."

Birthday present to buy.

This is a peripheral bracelet recently launched in collaboration between this store and a very popular mobile game. You have to win the lottery in the game now before you can go to the offline store to buy it.

Well.

It is quite the birthday gift that a otaku like Jiang Zilin could imagine.

"You...you...you...good...I...I..."

“Hello, we want to buy this.”

Chen Ran took Jiang Zilin's cell phone, pulled this useless sister who had already stuttered to her side, and motioned for her to let her do it.

then.

I told the saleslady behind the counter what I wanted to buy.

"The total is six hundred and ninety yuan."

"it is good."

“Do you need packaging?”

"What I want is a gift for someone else."

“Do you need to write a greeting card?”

"Forehead……"

Chen Ran looked at Jiang Zilin, who was obviously extremely nervous, and nodded.

"Give us a blank one, and we can go back and write it ourselves."

"Ok."

The saleslady quickly took a silver bracelet that was placed in an intricate small golden box, tied it with a ribbon, and put it into a larger red box. She then carefully placed it in the center of the gift bag.

The whole process took several minutes.

"Awaited."

"fine."

“Welcome next time.”

Walk out of the store.

Only then did Chen Ran feel that Jiang Zilin, who was clinging to him, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and leaned softly against him.

Obviously.

Just going to buy something had already consumed a lot of her energy - even if she was just following him.

It was only at this moment that Chen Ran began to understand.

What exactly did the words "Thank you for your hard work" that Jiang Lengleng just sent me mean?

Chapter 44 Shopping

He dragged himself to a small alley where there were few people.

Chen Ran saw that Jiang Zilin was in a hurry to take out her cell phone to transfer the money she had just used to buy gifts to herself.

"No need, Sister Xiaolin, I have money..."

"What money do you have! Your salary last month was paid by your sister!!"

"..."

It really is.

Although Jiang Zilin is a socially anxious person, she is indeed a housekeeper at home. She not only takes care of all the household chores, but also the daily expenses of the family.

So, this guy's piggy bank is bulging.

But Chen Ran did have money now, and he didn’t even know how to spend it for a while.

One million and four hundred thousand, how many birthday gifts would I have to buy to spend it all?

and so……

"Really, Sister Xiaolin, I used to go out to work on Saturdays and made a lot of money."

"Ok?"

"Go model for a TV commercial or something."

With her face raised, she told Jiang Zilin the same tricks she had used to coax Jiang Lengleng. To be honest, with her face and figure, it would be easy for her to be a model in commercials, right?

"no!"

Jiang Zilin still insisted on transferring the money to herself.

Chen Ran was a little helpless. This guy was just so stubborn sometimes.

Actually, this is normal, but I just thought that now that I have money and nowhere to spend it, I might as well give it to Jiang Zilin and the others and help them save some money - it's that simple.

Although she is in charge of the family's finances, the money that Jiang Zilin uses to buy gifts for her friends must have been saved bit by bit from her daily groceries.

Chen Ran was very familiar with this.

The two sisters are both good at saving money.

I was a little confused about this.

Chen Ran helped Jiang Zilin carry the paper bag containing the gifts and returned to the bustling main street with her.

I looked at the time and it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

"Do you want to go back?"

Chen Ran asked softly to Jiang Zilin who was hiding in his hand. The woman looked a little silly. She raised her head and looked eagerly at the tall buildings and bustling shops around her. She clearly looked very longing.

Then he kept fiddling with the corners of his clothes with his hands.

"Want to continue shopping?"

For Jiang Zilin, going out may not be easy.

Chen Ran saw this guy nodded slightly, then immediately shook his head and said something aggrieved.

"go home……"

Jiang Zilin actually wanted to go out.

For a woman, going out shopping is a novel experience, but she can't do it alone, so she will...

"Too much trouble."

This "too troublesome" probably means that taking her shopping would become very troublesome.

In a sense, Jiang Zilin is still very self-aware.

But Chen Ran didn't think it was troublesome.

"It's okay. It's no trouble."
